March 16th, 2021, 21 year old Robert Long opened fire in three different massage parlors in Atlanta, Georgia. Claiming he was fueled by sexual addiction and wanting to rid the world of those temptations, he went to spas he previously had paid for sex and killed 8 and injured 1 other. Although he claimed it wasn't a racist attack, the media ran with that narrative at a time when Covid-19 was causing resentment against the Asian community. Subscribe to our Youtube!youtube.com/@bangdangnetworkJoin our NEW Facebook group to discuss this episode, past episodes, or true crime in general!

In this episode of Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast, Nancy Wang Yuen, sociologist and expert on race and racism in Hollywood, joins Momentum Co-host Chevon for a conversation about the turmoils the Asian-American community experienced during and after the pandemic, the xenophobia she faces as a woman of color in academia, and the challenges she encounters while embracing her faith and being an activist.  Nancy shares insights and analysis into the importance of Asian representation in media and the sudden shift we are seeing in that representation at this moment.

A little over a year ago in the midst of the bread-making and Netflix binging part of quarantine, I had the ultimate GenZ idea to create a podcast. The first person to ever reach out to me was Anica. ——————————— Anica was adopted from China as a baby, grew up in the Northern California Bay Area, and currently is living in Los Angeles, CA. When we last spoke, Anica was planning on entering her 3rd year of college. Additionally, when we last spoke, Anica was just in the beginning stages of her work with outreach and activism. It's been a hectic and fast-moving 12 months, to say the least- let's check in and see where we are a year later… !TW: Discussion of the 2021 Atlanta Spa Shootings!

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin: In May of 2020 I interviewed Valerie Soe and Kristina Wong about the Auntie Sewing Squad, a sewing circle that was formed on March 24th during the global Coronavirus pandemic. Initially the group sewed masks for frontline medical and essential workers, and then for vulnerable marginalized communities. From the outset, Kristina described the Auntie Sewing Squad as a stop gap measure, and said that she had no intention of turning it into a nonprofit. In fact, she stated that the nature of what the Auntie Sewing Squad does is not sustainable in the long run and that the goal would be for the group to eventually retire. The work of the Auntie Sewing Squad, has gone beyond mask making. So, when I learned that the Auntie Sewing Squad had set a date to retire, I had to invite Valerie and Kristina back on to talk about the Auntie Sewing Squad's retirement.   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   Why and when the Auntie Sewing Squad is going into retirement The work that the Auntie Sewing Squad has done aside from sewing masks How the Auntie Sewing Squad is spending $10,000 on N-95 masks for farmworkers who have to work during the wildfires How Kristina and the Auntie Sewing Squad allocates food and supplies from the L.A. food bank to communities in need The Super Aunties of the Auntie Sewing Squad How the Auntie Sewing Squad is not the alternative to FEMA The other ways that Aunties are trying to support communities in need Dealing with the recent passing of Auntie Sally Super Auntie Constance Parng's breakout case of COVID How Kristina has been able to do more to affect change as an Auntie than an elected official The statement that the Auntie Sewing Squad put out after the Atlanta Spa Shootings The book about the Auntie Sewing Squad that will be coming out this fall (The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care and Racial Justice) The full-length documentary being made about the Auntie Sewing Squad (We Go Down Sewing) How COVID hospitalizations have affected people in need of other medical treatments/procedures The Auntie Sewing Squad retirement party How the Auntie Sewing Squad is nonhierarchical The term mutual aid The unique community and bonds that have formed amongst the Aunties and members of Auntie Sewing Squad What will happen to the group after it retires, and will the community still exist online Kristina's show about the Auntie Sewing Squad which is set to be performed in New York in November   Related Links:   The Auntie Sewing Squad's website: http://auntiesewingsquad.com/   The Auntie Sewing Squad on Instagram: www.Instagram.com/AuntieSewing   Auntie Sewing Squad Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2764362993676831/   Auntie Sewing Squad Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/auntiesewing   The Auntie Sewing Squad's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQrlwkZu_l6F1d9D_M5ZnGQ   The Auntie Sewing Squad's book, The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care and Racial Justice, 30% off code 17M6662, valid for UC Press website only: https://bit.ly/3iwyEBb   The Auntie Sewing Squad's HQ (list of notable Aunties): http://auntiesewingsquad.com/about/what-is-hq/   FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/   World Harvest Food Bank: https://www.worldharvestla.org/   Mutual Aid:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_aid_(organization_theory)   Super Auntie Constance Parng's Talking Taiwan interview: https://talkingtaiwan.com/constance-parng-super-auntie-to-native-nations-of-the-auntie-sewing-squad-ep-108/   Atlanta Spa Shootings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Atlanta_spa_shootings   The Auntie Sewing Squad's Statement on Rising Anti-Asian Hate and Violence: http://auntiesewingsquad.com/blog-posts/anti-aapi-hate-statement/   Kristina Wong's website: http://kristinawong.com/   Kristina Wong's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ilovekristinawong/   Kristina Wong's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYVB9L   Valerie Soe's blog: https://beyondasiaphilia.com/   Valerie Soe's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Valerie-Soe-1397194727164610   Valerie's previous Talking Taiwan interview about her documentary film, Love Boat Taiwan: https://talkingtaiwan.com/love-boat-taiwan-interview-asian-american-studies-professor-film-maker-valerie-soe-ep-66/   Talking Taiwan Episode 75: Auntie Sewing Squad Combats Covid-19 One Mask at a Time: https://talkingtaiwan.com/auntie-sewing-squad-combats-covid-19-one-mask-at-a-time-ep-75/ Talking Taiwan Episode 107: Auntie Sewing Squad 2: Supporting Communities On the Fringe Through Caring: https://talkingtaiwan.com/auntie-sewing-squad-2-supporting-communities-on-the-fringe-through-caring-ep-107/

Cautiously unpacking anti-blackness with our Asian parents, microaggressions we get as Asian women, and remembering the Atlanta Spa Shootings. We're tired of being Othered -- within our families and in the world.

What's up y'all! After two months, it felt like it was time to talk about this case. For episode five of the APAHM, we'll be covering the Atlanta spa shootings and some the updates that have been in the news. A man by the name of Robert Aaron Long shot up three Asian-owned spas in Atlanta on March 16, 2021. Eight people were murdered, and six of those victims were of Asian descent. Communities called this murder out as a hate crime, but many people outside of APIs claim otherwise. People including Captain Jay Baker, of Cherokee County Police Department, considered this crime nothing more than a "bad day."

Today we dissect our frustrations and emotions following the Atlanta spa shootings, the complicated relationship between social media & entertainment and treatment of women, and the various things we do for our personal safety & mental health that men might not think about. Any fed-up women, all curious men, and anyone who loves a good rant can check out this episode to see the various ways we’ve spotted misogyny - in the word “panties”, in porn, in memes, in cuss words, etc…

The Atlanta spa shootings on March 16, 2021 were one of many large-scale shooting incidents that occurred after a lull in mass gun violence due to the pandemic. But this spree shooting stuck out due to the various issues the tragedy touched on, including gun control and the Second Amendment, stereotyping and discrimination against Asian people, racialized misogyny, policing biases, and toxic teachings within evangelical Christianity. Jaye discusses each of these issues in light of this incident, centering the victims and making the case for an intersectional approach to such horrifying events.  Twitter: @potstirrercast IG: @potstirrerpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/potstirrerpodcast/ Website: PotstirrerPodcast.com Source Links: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/he-shot-everyone-he-saw-atlanta-spa-workers-recount-horrors-n1262928 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/suspect-deadly-atlanta-area-spa-shootings-says-he-was-motivated-n1261299 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/racism-sexism-must-be-considered-atlanta-case-involving-killing-six-n1261347?icid=related https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/soon-chung-park-worked-long-days-single-mom-bring-5-kids-korea-us-rcna514 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/apr/16/us-police-officers-public-officials-crowdfunding-website-data-breach https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/18/atlanta-shootings-victim-delaina-ashley-yaun https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/23/yong-ae-yue-atlanta-spa-shootings https://www.history.com/news/black-panthers-gun-control-nra-support-mulford-act https://www.history.com/news/free-school-breakfast-black-panther-party?li_source=LI&li_medium=m2m-rcw-history https://time.com/4431356/nra-gun-control-history/ https://time.com/5948259/atlanta-shooting-victims/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/03/17/jay-baker-bad-day/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2021/03/17/atlanta-shooting-southern-baptist-pastors-wrestle/ https://religiondispatches.org/dont-discount-evangelicalism-as-a-factor-in-racist-murder-of-asian-spa-workers-in-georgia/ https://cstroop.com/2018/12/11/ex-evangelical-conversations-professor-of-psychology-joshua-grubbs-featuring-advice-for-exvies-seeking-therapists/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/03/17/georgia-shootings-eight-people-killed-attacks-spas-atlanta/ https://www.chosun.com/international/us/2021/03/17/XSDXYLMAQZCC5JWMQ4HGRZGOG4/ https://www.kxan.com/news/atlanta-shootings-put-spotlight-on-surging-anti-asian-sentiment-in-america/ https://www.teenvogue.com/story/anti-asian-hate-crimes-violence-us-history https://newlife.com/emb/bounce-your-eyes/ https://newsone.com/4114669/atlanta-spa-shooting-survivor-speaks-out/ https://www.vox.com/22338807/asian-fetish-racism-atlanta-shooting https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2021/03/22/objectifying-asian-women-racism https://www.stanforddaily.com/2021/03/29/experts-say-atlanta-shooting-reflects-the-fetishization-of-asian-women/ https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2021/03/21/paul-michels-georgia-spa-shootings/4792531001/ https://abcnews.go.com/US/atlanta-shooting-victims-family-grieves-afar-strangers-organize/story?id=76883538 https://www.wsj.com/articles/last-spa-shooting-funeral-planned-by-chinese-american-community-11617537601 https://www.ajc.com/news/breaking-officials-release-names-of-4-women-killed-in-atlanta-spa-shootings/UJR22SSUQZE2JHB7EFWRT6DUZI/ https://people.com/crime/son-of-atlanta-shooting-victim-hyun-jung-grant-recalls-their-last-moment-together/ https://www.thedailybeast.com/atlanta-massage-parlor-shooting-victim-sun-cha-kim-remembered-as-a-fighter https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/19/us/atlanta-shooting-victims.html http://sk.sagepub.com/reference/violentcrime/n255.xml https://digitalcommons.wcl.american.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1164&context=tma https://animemotivation.com/anime-fetishization-weebs-japan/ https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjpymm/the-alleged-atlanta-shooters-church-tried-to-disappear-from-the-internet https://www.crabapplefbc.org/ https://www.newyorker.com/news/us-journal/two-georgia-churches-grapple-with-the-shootings-in-atlanta Music: Potstirrer Podcast Theme composed by Jon Biegen from Stranger Still http://strangerstillshow.com/ http://jonathanbiegen.com Magic composed by Johny Grimes https://soundcloud.com/johny-grimes Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/31WXS2t Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/rsz_WNXpTYc Scream composed by ELANSARIX Creative Commons — https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Download Free: https://elansarix.fanlink.to/scream Intractable composed by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Rain and Tears composed by Neutrin05 https://soundcloud.com/neutrin05​ Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/2PKvY28​ Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/RRsQBq9nSXQ Villanous Treachery composed by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Sad Music Sound Effect composed by Scott Buckley www.scottbuckley.com.au YouTube - bit.ly/2xeSz0l Music promoted by no copyright music store https://youtu.be/UrCRjIXrd7Y

Aisha K. Staggers had her first major publication, an album review, in The New Haven Register while just a sophomore in high school. Another series of reviews published in The Hartford Courant followed. By the time she reached college, Aisha was writing for the literary magazine and interning at a local radio station, ABC-affiliate as a writer in the news department and in the A&R department of an independent record company. As a graduate student at Fisk University, Aisha asked Dr. Raymond Winbush to chair her thesis because 1) he was one of the most renowned voices in black culture and academia, and 2) he was a Prince fan. His scholarship and guidance led Aisha to an early career as a professor of social sciences and later an administrator in higher education. Aisha has also served as a director of education and policy research centers and on the staff of legislative commissions. She previously served on the Executive Board of the CT Young Democrats' Women's Caucus, an avid campaigner and has remained active in politics and public policy.

Leftwing parties in Spain – where a 44-day strike in Barcelona in 1919 resulted in the country becoming one of the first in western Europe to adopt the eight-hour workday – have seized on the idea. “Spain is one of the countries where workers put in more hours than the European average. But we're not among the most productive countries,” said Errejón. “I maintain that working more hours does not mean working better.” 4. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/15/spain-to-launch-trial-of-four-day-working-week 7.
